Let it Go...

By -Oz-

the time has come
to let go
take the ring from your finger
unwilling may be the best way
the ring means nothing now...
you can't deny it
you have moved on
unnoticed and unintentionally
but still you have..
the ring means nothing
nothing more than a deteriating string upon your finger
for almost a year now
you know your love for him lasted longer than the ring
you knew it would
the ring goes first
but you can't save yourself
for somebody that has a ring meaning nothing
find a box
store everything having to do with him away
save it for a rainy day when you are going off to collage
save it for a day when you need the memory most
forget about him
for your own good
for your own sanity
five years is too long when your a teenager
five years is the better time of the days of your life
don't waste them on wanting him
it is time to let go
take the ring from your finger
put the pictures and the video in a box
put them on the shelf in the closet
as far back as they can go
deep into the shadows to be seen by nobody
but a five year older you
put a date on the box
open it that day and that day only
let go
you have to let go
don't deny it
you can't deny it
because you already have...

    This was an interesting read, considering that my best friends have been a couple for 5 (almost 6) years, now. It's certainly a long time at this age... but I think it's admirable, really. Tell me, dear Oz... does a ring ever mean anything?

    a ring means nothing more than the love it represents....so a ring is not nessicary...the love is...the ring means nothing if you let go of the love....~oZ~
